Runners Spotlight

1
Dark Tornado
Favorite

Absent since below-par run last August on final start for Denis Quinn (same ownership); however, this lightly raced 5yo returns after wind surgery and he won this last year (good to firm); no surprise if he has a big say.

Jockey: J F EganTrainer: Michael Wigham
2
Darkness

Took a step back in the right direction with his close sixth at Haydock on latest start and he's back in the visor in which his last five wins have come, including two last season (7f, good to firm); entitled to respect.

Jockey: Neil CallanTrainer: David O'Meara
3
Bobby Bennu

Inconsistent during light campaign last season but he's 3lb lower than when a close second at Haydock (7f, good) last July, so is handicapped to be in the mix if at the top of his game on this reappearance.

Jockey: Rowan ScottTrainer: Roger Varian
4
Angel Hunter

Has in-and-out profile and was only sixth at Ascot (1m, good to firm) a fortnight ago, but he's effective on turf and has won three of his last eight starts, most recently at Lingfield (1m, AW) last month; not ruled out.

Jockey: Joe LeavyTrainer: Richard Hannon
5
Silver Ghost

Two wins last May, including over C&D (good); failed to kick on subsequently but she reappeared with a solid third of six over C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago and could build on that performance this afternoon.

Jockey: Finley MarshTrainer: Emma Lavelle
